Default OCTAVE - Open Community Theme



As the title says, this is the start of an Open Community Theme.

Everyone is welcomed to join and give feedback or help in any way they can.

Let's try and keep this thread civilized, also this is not a WALTER feature request thread
(though I guess some will be mentioned from time to time)
Please bring constructive criticism, and elaborate when you don't like something.

This is very much a WIP

The name is 'OCTAVE' for now, though it might change in the future.

Let me be the first to say that I welcome your input. As many have said (including myself) your earlier mockup was just stunning. From what I can see, you're VERY skilled in the art of design.

Having said that, I'm worthless as assistant other than to share my comments on a design. But I do look forward to how this thread will play out.

Me too not much use except for testing.

Are you sure it's worth starting the theme now though as so many walter things might change?

I say that with no idea of how much though and it may not be much change so why not

be great to see your original theme started and who knows, by the end of 4 alpha we might see multiple docs which would help with the bits of your theme walter can't yet do

the problem is... Reaper is not yet up to par with our wishes and imaginations

It's not yet possible to create a UI similar to that in Brice's mockup. And it's the functionality in that mockup I am wanting more, rather than the general look and feel.

But we can make "pre-theme" as close as possible to that mockup, and maybe some day it works and looks just like we want.

Brice, I would prefer it to be open project. Life is all about learning anyway.

Bring it on Brice. Time for some of your creations to shine.

If the colors and graphics just match the mock up as best as possible using 3.x features, I think this will be my new default theme.

Any WALTER stuff is just icing on the cake.

I can't wait to see where this ends up.

Im curious to know which parts of Brice's mockup cannot be done with walter?

Surely it could be done somehow?

Careful now, you don't want to make it look TOO good. I would definitely offer my commentary. Not sure if my graphics skills are as polished or diverse as some of the best ie. WT, Dr. Suess, etc. I'm good with logos, marketing/advertising, stuff like that.

But I'm here. And here: http://www.realitycheckers.com/

Thank you for the positive feedback.

Aeolian :
I'm 'sure' it'll be possible at some point, but for now WALTER doesn't cover all my mock-up's needs.

Solar :
I think WT has his own team, so he's got what he needs to provide a great default theme, and above all he's asking for users feedback.

airon :
I think we first need to decide on elements placement.
Maybe we can start with the MCP, then move to the TCP.
Decide which elements need to be shown, the various layouts needed...

The idea is to make a truly complete theme, that can evolve quickly as 'hopefully' elements are added to WALTER's realm of possibilities.

I hear you on this Brice. Then we're behind you here... let's the magic begin and I wish some very good talented guys here will support you.
Also i liike your idea of making a Complete Theme that will open with the evolution of WALTER

Cheers!!

Wow if Brice's mock up is a starting point...then this thing is gonna be HUGE.

I'd certainly cheer you on, and perhaps contribute the odd element here or there if it's good enough.

WALTER hacking certainly sounds like fun when not done alone . Where do you want to start ?

Wooooooooooooooow!!!

Mr Brice in tha house back? This is like a dream come true already. Hope I could help but I will be number 1 supporter with feedbacks. I think Cockos should try to work & put Mr W.Tie together with Brice and work something out about the new upcoming mock up to be brought to V4 and that is for sure would be a KILLER blend.

May this become TRUE
